Well appointed, cozy stay
This property is very well appointed. There was not a kitchen item that we didn't need that wasn't there. Each item was high quality. The entire property was very clean and efficient for a cozy stay.

Great place
We stayed in your bottom unit but really like the upper unit better. The only thing I say is put a little table on the other side of the bed.

Perfect Get Away
Such a perfect get away for the hustle and bustle of life! We came on off season and it was still beautiful and accomodating. Clean and comfortable. The communication was excellent with the property manager and they were more than helpful. Looking forward to coming back to the little lake house!

Cozy apartment in perfect location
Overlooking Lake Junaluska is so delightful! We normally stay in this host’s larger home rental, which we enjoy. Since this was a shorter (6 night) stay, we opted for this smaller accommodation and we loved it. It was everything we wanted! We’ll be back, for sure. Host Carolyn is always available and anxious to please.
